Civil engineering is the field of exploring the limits of buildings structures and for discovering technologies to make the buildings go higher, last longer and consist of lighter materials. Retrofitting technique is used to increase the strength and ductility of building also helps in up gradation of lateral strength. In this project work behaviour and performance of lateral load resisting system i.e. structure with FRP laminates with various methods is observed. CFRP sheet are used in this project work. CFRP have been used in different industries like automotive, aerospace and building structures. They also been using in other applications because of their low weight and stiffness. In this present work a G+4 storey building is situated in Aurangabad. On that building various NDT tests are carried out and results are collected. Then that building modelled in ETABS software to find out axial force, shear force and bending moment. This model are analysed for Static structural behaviour. On the basis of NDT test results, select the critical column for retrofitting. That column modelled in ANSYS software and CFRP sheet is attached to that column with various methods. And then analysis is done in ANSYS with forces which are finding out in ETABS model analysis. Based on this parametric study, logical and meaningful conclusion is made for future study considering the safety and economy of the buildings.
